it's beginning to look a lot like christmas..

this was my outfit for christmas day with the family..the dress came from a charity shop (and cost £5.99) several years ago, but i had never worn it, so i dragged it out on saturday evening and realised i would have to alter it a little to make it fit - i was still told all day that my dress was too big, in between the comments about how much weight i had lost and therefore how i must not be eating properly (my family are so annoying)

anyway, i think it's a vintage monsoon one, and i figured that the colours were fairly festive - when i started to get a bit cold i had to borrow a navy cardigan from my mum..all in all the day was much better than i had anticipate; certain people have a tendency to drink too much and become fairly vile, but that wasn't too prevelent on sunday, whcih i was thankful for, and other than the constant comments and attempts to get me to eat things, i had a nice day.. i was very lucky and received some lovely presents, which i will no doubt share here..

Oh Char I know exactly how you feel, when I lost 3 stone when I was 18 (put 2 of it on now :() I constantly had to put up with that. I was eating just not eating junk. I felt so much better within myself, went from a size 16 to nearly an 8. But after so much peer pressure I started putting the weight back on to please others and can't seem to get into the swing of things again :(I personally think you look amazing and healthy!Have a great new year lovely!Sophiex

That dress is lovely, the colours are really good. I'm so impressed that you just up and alter stuff to fit, I need to learn that skill.Sorry to hear about the vile people, I have vile people in my family too but they are not invited to my home so that solves that problem ;0)Kandi x
